Luckey is accused of inappropriately touching the child over an undisclosed period of time, according to Boyd. The child's mother reported the abuse to authorities Sunday after learning of the molestation from her daughter.

The girl told her mother that Luckey would hug and kiss her and touch her "in a place that nobody is supposed to touch," Boyd said. The child was taken to Children's Hospital in New Orleans for a full examination. Those results are pending.

Luckey was still being held Monday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bond was set at $75,000 on the sexual battery charge. But he was also being held as a fugitive from Murray County, Ga. No information about that case was available.
